Biography

When asked how she approaches her photography subjects, the legendary Fashion, Beauty, Portrait photographer answers with a provocative smile, "I treat my subjects like lovers, giving caring attention to the people I photograph. Some of my greatest friendships, therefore, have developed through my work. The camera has allowed me an intimacy with my subjects that I would never dare have without it. I can touch people in a way I never would have done otherwise and that has been a great privilege."
